What Students Are Saying

This school is perfect for the students who are nervous for college, or who also need a flexible schedule because they will work with you anyway they can. Just work hard and you will definitely be able to get great grades and transfer to a great four year university.

Prospective students:
1) Get to know your teachers- teachers are more likely to help you out if they know you and know that you are concerned and are willing to put in the effort.
2) Take morning classes- I know it's early, but it is better to get it over with so that you have the rest of the day. For me, if I take later classes I am more likely to skip my classes if I have been up and have already started doing something else.
3) Apply early/ send in financial aid early- Always try not to procrastinate, especially when it comes to trying to get financial aid.
4) May not be really be a tip, but I always look up ratings on professors before I pick classes. ratemyprofessor.com allows you to see ratings of professors, but keep in mind anyone can post on there so if you usually do well in school then the ratings saying that some of the teachers are really hard may be due to the students lack of effort and not the teachers difficulty.

some of my tips for prospective students would be to get an advisor, keep in good touch with your professors, and just don't slack. i would say an advisor would be very helpful because they can help you plan financially as well as academically at mclennan community college. keep in good touch with your professors because if you stay on their good side and do your work, you will have a great time here. which brings me to the not slacking comment. do your work on time. do it ahead of time if possible. the sooner, the better when it comes to college!

Alyssa from Waco, TX

i would encourage prospective students to visit the campus, talk to some of the students. check out the bulletin boards on campus and the face book page to get a feel for the college and see if it is a fit for you.
